Four years after his bruised body was found floating in a canal, the family of Kenneth Wade Felchle remains hopeful someone will come forward with details on the teen's death.

Felchle, often called BJ, was 17 years old on April 11, 2008, when his body was discovered in the Stockton canal.

His family wants to know more about the night BJ died. The Stockton relatives recently hosted a vigil, thinking someone with information would finally divulge.

"I'd love to see this case be solved," said Tammy Morrow, BJ's mother. "I'd love some closure to find out what happened to my son."

At the event, a small crowd gathered as the sun set on the diverting canal. It's an area most people don't notice as they drive by, but it haunts Morrow.

"I want to thank all of you for being here and showing your support for us, our family and for BJ," she said. "He loved all of you and we will get justice."

The vigil is organized annually by BJ's 14-year-old sister.

"I miss him," Mariah Morrows said. "And I like seeing how many people show up, and show their respect and love for him."

Each year, she hopes the gathering will jog a memory, or provide even one clue -- which would help the family, including the 3-year-old son BJ never met. He learned his girlfriend was pregnant two days before his death.

When BJ was finally found, he had been missing for one week. The bruises spanned his head, arms and neck. Even four years later, his death is classified as suspicious, but no one knows what led to his drowning.

In May, the teen's photo and case details were posted once again on Crime Stoppers. In addition, his friends created a Facebook page in his memory.

Still, the family wants answers.

"When your kids leave you, hug them," Tammy Morrow said. "And tell them you love them -- every time. Because I did get to tell him I love him, but I didn't get to hug him."
